Should you use a physical SIM or eSIM in Europe?
An eSIM is often more convenient for travellers as you don’t need to physically swap SIM cards; simply scan the QR code and activate your SIM. This digital option is especially helpful for multi-country trips, as it allows you to seamlessly connect to local networks across Europe.
Physical SIMs are a great option if your device isn’t eSIM-compatible or if you prefer having a tangible SIM card.
How do I know which eSIM plan suits my needs?
Think about how much data and call time you’ll need for your trip. For heavy data use, such as streaming or frequent navigation, a larger data plan might be suitable. For regular calls, choose a plan that includes minutes for calling and texting.
Pick a plan that’s perfect for your adventure. With SimCorner, we offer a full range of options to suit light, moderate, or heavy usage patterns.
